The Republic of De-mirage188 is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its burgeoning Chud population. The quiet, industrious population of 830 million De-mirage188ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 17.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The De-mirage188ian economy, worth 38.9 trillion Crates a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,861 Crates, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The 'Museum Of Stuff We Stole' is a tourist favourite, the law forbids arson, murder, and low-quality cheese, all facts are created equal, and the nation's laws on image rights are amongst the strictest in the world. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. De-mirage188's national animal is the Chud, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

De-mirage188 is ranked 257,389^th in the world and 14,035^th in Osiris for Largest Populations, with 830 million capita.
